Heat Transplant

My husband is on the Heart transplant list, I am his wife and was wanting to talk with anyone that is or has been though the same things that I am going thought. I am there is support him, but because of the stress I am breaking down mentally and physically, I try and hide if from him and to be strong but inside it is killing me to watch him go though this.

Looking for help

I just left the pharmacy not to long ago in tears, I am not sure what to do and am turning to you all for help. I had my kidney transplant three years ago. After the transplant we applied for any help that we could get to help pay for my medicine. We were turned down for everything, even from the Kidney Foundation. We have constantly been told we make too much and have insurance. My doctor just tried to reapply for me to several places. The last insurance company although it was still pretty… Continue
